Reliiiioiis with America
(Wise Sayings of Imam Khomeini)
o Our relations with America are the relations of the oppressed with the
oppressor; the relations of a robbed person with his robber.
o We are not a protectorate of America or the Soviet Union, or of any other
power.
o May God awaken those who dream of Ameica.
o The day America praises us is the day that we must mourn.
o We do not want Ameica to supervise us. We do not want America to take
away the entire resources of the nation.
o It is a disgrace for a Muslim country to extend a band to Ameica and ask
for bread.
o We shall not establish relations with America unless it became humane
and give up oppressing others.
o We will establish relations with Ameica and the Soviet Union provided
they do not interfere in our domestic affairs and have good relations with
us.
